Chevrolet Goes Small at the New York Auto Show

Chevrolet may be mainly known for its massive trucks and high-power
cars, but the company arrived at the New York Auto Show with three
minicar concepts designed at a General Motors (GM) Design Studio in
South Korea. Aiming to develop "the perfect small car for urban
commuters," Chevrolet came up with the Beat, "a running prototype of a
micro import tuner," along with two "micro urban crossover concepts,"
the Groove and the Trax. The Beat features a 1.2-liter turbocharged
gasoline engine mated to an automatic transmission, while the Trax is
driven by a 1-liter gasoline engine and the Groove draws on a 1-liter
diesel engine. Chevrolet is even allowing people to vote for their
favorite minicar. Held in Manhattan, the New York International Auto
Show started on April 6th and runs through April 15th. See the
